HOME SCHOOLING

          

Well, at this day we learned about home schooling(*) and worked as a group. This is our discussion about homeschooling.

Home schooling is alternative learning model in addition to the school and put the children as a subject through the approach as “at home”.

Home schooling offers some benefits rather than public schooling such as freedom, material in learning, family, and timing of rest.

The first benefit is freedom in learning and emotional. It is extremely important part of society. Through home schooling, children can learn according to their desire and will not feel pressured by giving them many tasks as in public schooling. In addition, frequently children feel the pressure, competition and boredom while they learned in public schooling. However, in home schooling the negative effects can be avoided.

The second is materials of learning are more simple. In home schooling, the learning of materials are very board and do not point at the curriculum that is set by government. Creativity of children will be developed according to their interest through the various media of learning, such as internet, environment, and so on. The applying of contextual teaching and learning is the effective model for home schooling. The holding of learning is also flexible.

The third is the relationship with family will be closer. Homeschooling takes the important role in intensifying relationship among family members. The solidarity can be tied because parents take over in educating their children directly. The role of parents is very important and should be dominant.

The last benefit is home schooling provides sufficient rest for children. The daily activity as wake up in the morning as at public schooling sometimes makes child feel tired. Taking a little of rest and bed time can influence their emotional and physical health. However, parents do not need any worries, because in home schooling, they can manage their rest time well.
